I’ve slept on Cagney & Lacey for 40 years or so and am finally diving in. I’m about to finish S02 and haven’t seen the TV movie with Loretta Swit as Cagney yet. So far not a fan of Sharon Gless’s Cagney and would have liked to have seen Meg Foster continue in the role.

But seriously. I’m all about Mary Beth fucking Lacey. She is an utter delight.

[comicsart3]

The Garden of Death is a Supergirl story that appears in Supergirl Vol 1, #3 (February 1973). It is one of the issues that comprised the early 1970s reboot of the Girl of Steel, in which Linda Danvers has gone to Vandyre University and adopted the persona of a modern, yet conflicted, young woman, balancing the angst of early adulthood with the demands of being a superheroine. Whereas this Supergirl incarnation is altogether more worldly and feminist than the teenage ingenue who featured in the 1960s Silver Age, she still is desperate for a boyfriend and wracked with confidence issues for all her intelligence and super abilities.

Linda is part of a college amateur dramatic society, and when one of her fellow actors tells her that his girlfriend, Mary Ann Brooks, is distraught, Linda checks her out as Supergirl, finding that the reason for Mary Ann’s distress is the arrest of her father, renowned botanist Albert Brooks, who is accused of the murder of gangster “Lucky Coin” Lacey. Finding the notion that a respected horticulturalist was guilty of a gangland slaying hard to believe, Supergirl decides to help Mary Ann by investigating the case.

Lacey’s body has been found on the grounds of Albert Brooks’ house and when Supergirl arrives with Mary Ann, the police ask her to assist in a sweep of the area. To her horror, and Mary Ann’s shock, the Girl of Steel’s X-Ray vision reveals the bodies of three other murdered mobsters, all stowed in hiding places in the grounds, or the Brooks house itself. The evidence against Mary Beth’s father seems conclusive.

Mary Ann is grief stricken at what she sees as Supergirl’s betrayal and flees from the grounds in tears. Meanwhile a sinister scientist called “Doc” is in conversation with a coin flicking mystery man, indicating all might not be what it seems.

Supergirl visits Brooks in prison and he gives her the name of a witness who can prove his innocence. Brooks is released but is promptly kidnapped by Doc and the coin flicking villain who turns out to be the real “Lucky Coin” Lacey. Doc, who is a brilliant, but unlicensed, plastic surgeon gave a hapless mobster Lacey’s face before the real Lacey arranged to have him and three other gangsters murdered. Lacey then had Doc operate on his face, turning it into a copy of Brooks, gambling that Supergirl would prove Brooks innocent, giving Lacey the perfect alibi, once the real Brooks was dead of course.

Supergirl meanwhile has worked out the plot and bursts in on Doc and Lacey just as they are about to off Brooks. The kidnapped botanist protests that he is the real Brooks while the surgically altered Lacey does the same. Supergirl however, is not fooled by the crook’s lies.

Detective style, the Girl of Steel has identified a metal residue on the fake Brooks’ fingers left by the continued flicking of the “lucky” coin that gave the crook his nickname. After subduing a fleeing Doc, Supergirl ties up the unmasked Lacey who cannot believe the superheroine has found him out. She releases Brooks in time to be reunited with his daughter. In the final panel, the super powered crime fighter is left lonely and miserable, watching her fellow students enjoy a Valentine’s Night dance, without a date and wondering why she can solve mysteries and capture murderers, but cannot solve her own problems.

This story is a little different from the rest of the series because it involves Supergirl in Batman style detecting, and no encounters with interplanetary criminals, monsters from another dimension or criminal masterminds. It also features a rare depiction of Linda tying up a bad guy she has captured, therefore making it a nice addition to this blog.

The Garden of Death was written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Art Saaf and Vince Colletta.

“This Belgian-made English language vampire film, which director-writer Harry Kümel termed “a gothic fairy tale for full-grown adults” is among the most stylish of horror films and might very well be the most perverse … Harry Kümel never became a major director, but this one film proved he had great talent. Daughters may be a wicked film, as some critics and viewers have complained, and it is no gem, but it is sexy, imaginative, amusing and undeniably fun. It is a curiosity piece that viewers who have tired of the latest trend in horror films surely should seek out.”

/ From Cult Movies 2 by Danny Peary (1983) /

On this day in cult cinema history (27 October 1971): the acme of lesbian vampire films, Daughters of Darkness premiered – which perfectly coincides with “Halloween month.” I would have first experienced the decadent wonder of this film at the Scala Cinema in London in the early 90s after devouring Peary’s analysis. (His Cult Movies books were sacred texts for me when I was a teenager). I can’t believe he dismisses Daughters as “no gem”, though! Coolly inscrutable French actress Delphine Seyrig (1932 -1990) is irresistible channeling Marlene Dietrich as ageless lesbian vampire priestess Elisabeth Bathory. “I’m sure she enjoyed playing Elisabeth in the manner of her friend Marlene Dietrich,” Peary writes. “Thus, the ironic, wry humour, and the smile even when insulted or feeling melancholy; and the wild, magnificent wardrobe.  In fact, Seyrig’s initial appearance recalls Dietrich in Sternberg films (Sternberg and Kümel were friends as well). At an angle we only see part of her visage: the sanguine lips stand out because of the white-caked facial make-up; the face is delicately framed by a black veil and the wings of a high fur collar.” The other noteworthy cast member: John Karlen (1933 – 2020) – aka Harvey Lacey, husband of Mary Beth Lacey, on TV’s Cagney & Lacey!
